The film follows Po, the chosen one, as he continues on his journey mastering the art of kung fu and noodle slurping. Continuing on his now legendary adventures of awesomeness, Po must face two hugely epic, but very different threats: one supernatural and the other a little closer to home. When Po’s long-lost panda father suddenly reappears, the reunited duo travels to a secret panda paradise to meet scores of hilarious new panda characters. But when the supernatural villain Kai begins to sweep across China defeats all the kung Fu masters, Po must do the impossible—learn to train a village full of his fun-loving, clumsy brethren to become the ultimate band of Kung Fu Pandas! In the Spirit Realm, Master Oogway is meditating peacefully when he is attacked by a Spirit Warrior: a Yak named Kai who fought against Oogway five hundred years previously. The two battle, and Oogway learn that Kai has increased his strength by stealing the Chi of every Kung fu master in the Spirit Realm, and only needs Oogway’s to become strong enough to return to the mortal realm. Claiming victory, Kai is nevertheless warned that Oogway was never intended to defeat him, but that he has set someone else on that path. Meanwhile, in the Valley of Peace, Po and the Furious Five learn that Shifu will no longer be responsible for overseeing their training: that responsibility now falls to Po.

After a disastrous first session, Shifu reveals to Po that he knew the Panda was unprepared, but did it so that Po could achieve growth. After noting that Po has no real concept of his role as the Dragon Warrior, Shifu explains that he must grow if he is ever to reach the point that Shifu has: that of embarking on the quest to master Chi itself. Kai then arrives in the mortal realm and, after learning that he has been forgotten by China, uses some of his collected Chi to create living statues made of Jade whom he dispatches to hunt down Oogway’s legacy. Po, struggling to come to terms with Shifu’s words and his own self-doubt, then has an unexpected reunion with his biological father, Li Shan, who reveals that other Pandas survive as well in a hidden village, and that he was informed of Po’s survival by a message “from the universe.” Sadly, Kai’s warriors soon arrive to attack the valley, leaving Li concerned for his son’s safety. After learning of Kai and his powers and history as a former comrade of Oogway’s who turned to stealing Chi after he and Oogway encountered ancient Pandas, the heroes determine that Po must become a Master of

Chi, and Li offers to train him. The two Pandas set out for the village and are joined by Mr. Ping, who is troubled by Li Shan’s return and what it could mean for his and Po’s relationship. Upon reaching the village, Po is overjoyed to meet so many other Pandas, and feels that he finally knows who he is.

Shifu dispatches Mantis and Crane to determine Kai’s whereabouts, only for the pair to fall victim to him along with Masters Bear, Croc, and Chicken. Soon all the masters, but the remaining Furious Five, Shifu, and Po have fallen to him, and Kai arrives at the Jade Palace eager to complete his collection. After Viper and Monkey are handily defeated and Shifu is left unable to fight, the senior master orders Tigress to go and warn Po of his imminent danger before becoming another captive of Kai’s. Tigress journeys to the village and informs the Pandas of Kai’s approach, and Li then admits that he has lied to Po about knowing the ancient Chi techniques of the Pandas. Furious, Po determines to face Kai and destroy him using the Wuxi Finger Hold, but is informed by Tigress that it cannot be done alone. After a pep talk from Mr. Ping, Li Shan offers himself and the other Pandas to Po’s tutelage so that he will have an army with which to face Kai’s Jade warriors. Following some rigorous-and highly unconventional-training, the Pandas face Kai’s assault, and manage to disorient him by attacking his army. Unfortunately, Po’s attempt to finish his fails, as the Wuxi Finger Hold cannot affect immaterial beings such as Kai has become. However, Kai’s comments on the matter lead Po to a realization, and he manages to get Kai back into the Spirit Realm by grabbing a hold of him and then using the hold on himself. However, Kai then proceeds to capture the Dragon Warrior and begin the process of collecting his Chi.

Back in the Panda village, Po’s allies manage to employ the Chi technique, having been inspired by Po’s leadership and sacrifice. The result frees Po from Kai’s grasp and enables him to unlock his own Mastery of Chi, which he uses to defeat Kai and free the Chi he had previously taken. He then meets with Oogway, who reveals that he chose Po to be the Dragon Warrior because he

believed that Po could unite Kung fu’s past with its future. Po then returns to the mortal realm as a Master of Chi, to Shifu’s awe and chagrin. He then instructs the Pandas, Kung fu Masters, and residents of the Valley of Peace in the technique, which spreads good Chi across the land.

The moral messages from Kungfu panda 3 are:
